Champions League debut pleases Manchester United's Andreas Pereira

Champions League debut pleases Pereira

Manchester United winger Andreas Pereira has revealed that he was "very happy" to make his Champions League debut against Wolfsburg last night.

The 19-year-old, who made his first start for the Red Devils against Ipswich Town in the League Cup last week, came off the bench to replace Memphis Depay for the last half-hour against the Bundesliga outfit at Old Trafford.

"I'm very happy that I can have my chance now and I'm very pleased that the manager has given me this opportunity. I hope I can do well, as I am doing, and continue my form," he told the club's official website.

"I think it's very important for me also to play in a competition like this. I played my first 30 minutes in the Champions League and hopefully I can play more and more games now."

United won the game 2-1 thanks to goals either side of the break from Juan Mata and Chris Smalling.
